An investigation has been launched into tweets allegedly posted by a junior high school teacher which endorse attacks on pro-Trump teenagers.
Houston’s Channelview Independent School District is currently probing the social media conduct of Jogi Pattisapu after tweets from an account possibly linked to him endorsed the conduct of a man’s alleged assault on a teen wearing a Make America Great Again hat.
Pattisapu’s account is private, but screenshots of the tweets were obtained by the Houston Chronicle.
“These sh*tcake kids are the same type to wear a MAGA hat to the African-American museum,” reads one tweet. “The same douchebag kids who do a Nazi salute in a class picture then claim it was a joke. F*ck ’em.”
When asked how he can “support a grown-ass man committing assault and theft on an innocent little kid over a damn hat?” the tweeter doubled down.
“The same way you support the police when they killed Tamir Rice. The same way you supported Trump with the racist ‘Birther’ shite for 6 years. The same way you look the other way when your family and friends drop racist stereotypical right-wing talking points. That’s how.”
The Pattisapu twitter bio advertises its owner as, “Atheist, Liberal, Public School Teacher, son of immigrants; The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me— I too am not a bit tamed I too am untranslatable #WAKANDA”
In a statement, district spokeswoman LaKeisha LeBlanc confirmed that an investigation has been opened into the matter.
“We are aware of the comments made on social media,” LeBlanc said. “The district is taking this matter seriously and we are conducting an investigation.”
Infowars has reported at length on the shocking attack that took place when a 16-year-old was confronted over his MAGA hat at a Whataburger in San Antonio, Texas.
The suspect, Kino Jimenez, was subsequently fired from his job and charged with felony theft.
